bullets. Maybe 100-115 gr. in .32 and 125 gr. in .380, 180-200 gr. in .38 special. Pure lead, thickly powder coated, properly sized, and gas checked. Probably in the 700-800 fps range. I mainly just want it to function the semi's and hit close to POA at 7-15 yds. The RCBS 200 gr. in the .38 is pretty salty and much better than the old RNL.

My little .32 Muzzleloader hits HARD with that little .310"/45 gr. RB of pure lead running right under supersonic. For such an archaic rig it is surprisingly effective.
